Fees and Funding

Fees and Funding

Little Rascals offer a competitive, fully inclusive payment plan that has been successfully supporting families across our nurseries for over 30 years. We provide both private and government-funded childcare places, with funding available for children from as young as 9 months old.

All inclusive, Quality childcare

At Little Rascals, we believe high-quality childcare should be affordable, transparent and designed to make family life a little easier. That’s why our fees include a range of everyday essentials, helping to give you great value and one less thing to worry about.

Our fees are fully inclusive of:

  • Nappies and wipes

  • Nutritious meals and snacks

  • Milk and baby formula

  • Sun cream and toothpaste

  • A wide range of enriching activities and experiences

  • Opportunities to explore nature, the outdoors and the wider community

We also offer additional ways to make childcare more affordable:

  • Sibling discounts - to help families with more than one child

  • Tax-Free Childcare - eligible families can use Tax-Free Childcare to help towards their nursery fees

At Little Rascals, we’re committed to providing exceptional care, enriching experiences and great value for families, giving your child the very best start while giving you peace of mind.

For our latest fees and availability, please contact your chosen Little Rascals nursery.

Government Funded Childcare

Little Rascals work closely with the local authority to ensure all funding provisions are available to our parents, including Government funding for the following:

  • 30 hours funding for working families for children aged 9 months to 4 years old

  • 15 hours Early Learning funding for 2 year olds

  • 15 hours universal entitlement for 3 and 4 year olds

For the latest information on childcare funding, eligibility and how and when to apply, please visit your local authority’s guidance here.

We recommend checking your eligibility and applying as early as possible to ensure you have everything in place before your child starts their funded hours.

Our team is always happy to help you understand your eligibility and make the most of the funding available. Please see our full fees and funding guide here.

Help with the costs of childcare

We understand that the cost of childcare is an important consideration for families. In England, there are a range of government-funded schemes and financial support available to help make childcare more affordable, including funded childcare hours and Tax-Free Childcare.

Take a look at the options here to find out what support you may be entitled to and how it could help with your childcare costs.


Consumables package

At Little Rascals, we provide a nurturing, inclusive and enriching environment where every child can thrive. We’re proud to offer high-quality early education through the Government Funded Childcare Entitlement, helping eligible families access the benefits of early learning.

Government funding covers your child’s early education and childcare during their funded hours, but does not cover additional items such as meals, nappies, wipes, sun cream and other resources that support your child’s care and comfort throughout the day.

To help us continue providing these essentials and enriching experiences, we offer an optional Consumables Package. More information can be found within our fees and funding guide above.
